Process for a high efficiency and low emission operation of power stations as well as for storage and conversion of energy

Abstract

The invention relates to a process and a device for process realizing to increase the efficiency of power stations by improvement of the efficiency of using the heat potentials for an electric power production by using of supercritical carbon dioxide as a working fluid and heat transfer medium as well as for the improvement of the ecological balance of power stations by minimization of the carbon dioxide emission and the total avoidance of NO_x-emissions by using of pure oxygen for the burning process. Additionally the process allows the buffering of electric overcapacity energy producing mass storages for natural gas, pressed air and carbon dioxide and their effective using as well as in the continuous operation and for peak load supply of power stations.

Problems solved by technology

Disadvantageously at this technology is the high landscape consumption, the limitation to relatively few suitable locations and the high water losses by evaporation.

Disadvantageously are the high energy losses at the compression, the heavy heat emission and the low efficiency of the process.

Because in this case the costs of production of technical gases are in the focus of the interest, the loss of the compression heat is a usual and planned energy loss.

Other experiments for the using of buffer storages for electrical energy, e.g. in batteries, are in development but can not to be used in the process.

From the initiators of the project is judged, that the process is very energy intensive and had a low efficiency.

Besides the it is not easy to find usual locations for the storage.

Disadvantageously are the material technical problems caused by the aggressiveness of the ammonia-water-mixture which will be caused a lower life time of this few experienced process.

A second disadvantage is the possibility of the emission of the high toxic and environmental endangering ammonia by legs.

However the integration of this process is difficult and in such way there is not known practical examples therefore.

Other processes written in patents, are not tec
